Chrissy Teigen is not “personally offended” by cultural appropriation, but thinks the modeling industry could do a lot better when it comes to inclusion and representation.

The 31-year-old model is not the first person to voice this criticism, but in the week following that cringeworthy Karlie Kloss Vogue shoot, it seems particularly important to listen to Asian models' views on the industry.

Teigen spoke to E! News last Thursday at the Sports Illustrated Swim 2017 launch party, just a day after Vogue came under fire for cultural appropriation in its “diversity”-themed March issue.

Teigen, who's mother is Thai, told E! she has mixed feelings on the concept of cultural appropriation.

She said,

I personally am not offended by cultural appropriation of any sort because I feel like it does pay homage, but at the same time there are a lot of beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, Asian women that could do the same thing.
